Sawvell, Robert D.
In May 1950, Robert Schuman, then the Foreign Minister of France proposed the
establishment of a common market among the countries of Western Europe in coal,
iron, and steel. The treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community came
into effect a little over two years later, and its success encouraged the creation
of the other communities, the Atomic Energy Community and the European Economic
Community itself. The latter began to operate at the beginning of 1958 and extended
to the whole field of international trade the principles which underlay the original
common market in coal and steel.
